Hotcourses Photo Competition!
Posted on Monday, March 24 2014
Send us a picture that best reflects your experience of BU and be in with a chance to win the Hotcourses Abroad Image Contest and a student bursary of up to £500.
Hotcourses Abroad is running a competition for staff, students and graduates of universities around the world. They’re looking for original, unique images which best represent universities to international students.
We think that BU’s pretty great, and that life in Bournemouth is worth sharing with the world, so whether you’re a budding photographer or an Instagram fan, email us an image you think best highlights the positive aspects of your BU experience by 27 March. We’ll post our favourites on the BU Pinterest page over the next few days and choose our winner on 28 March.
The winner will represent BU in the Hotcourses Abroad Image Contest. Hotcourses Abroad will post the image on their Facebook page, along with submissions from other universities around the world. Three bursary prizes will be awarded: £200 for 3rd place, £300 for 2nd place and £500 for 1st place.
Send your entries to: internationalrecruitment@bournemouth.ac.uk
There’s also a £25 Amazon voucher up for grabs from Hotcourses Abroad, you just need to vote in the Image Contest and you’ll be added to their prize draw.
The small print
- Images must represent our institution to international students but the subject of the image does not necessarily have to be internationally-themed. For example, the image does not have to feature international elements (e.g. international students, flags etc.).
- Images must be original, creative and should capture something unique and special to you.
- If there are people in the picture, they must be our current students and you must have their permission to use the picture.
- Images should not have any logos or branding imprinted on them, and must not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party
- The image should be a minimum of 490 x 270px. Ideally, we would prefer the image to be shot on an actual camera for quality purposes.
- We hold the right to reject any image which we feel does not meet the criteria or rules of the competition, or which we feel is derogatory, immoral or inappropriate.
- Only one image can be submitted per institution to the Hotcourses Abroad Image Contest and it will need to be vetted before being entered; The University reserves the right not to submit any winning image where it considers appropriate to do so.
